The author was privileged to see first-hand worlds that few will ever know, while participating in cutting-edge research at high latitudes. From solo voyages down the Yukon and part of the Northwest Passage, to working with humpback whales in the Southern Ocean, to chilling encounters with polar bears, Rosemary McGuire's stories are told in spare, graceful prose. It is her friendships with local people, and with scientific researchers, that form the core of her experiences. Through these local contacts and traditional knowledge, she learns humility and a sense of wonder at the natural world, while at the same time coming to appreciate the gritty determination of the field researchers whose work she shares. Throughout, she examines human relationships with wilderness, and our growing effects on a fragile planet. And so, as she writes, "In the end, this is a love story for a threatened place."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 4$aThe Alaska Literary 606 $aAnimals$zPolar regions 606 $aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects 607 $aPolar regions$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aAnimals 615 0$aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a910.911 700 $aMcGuire$b Rosemary Desideria$01504797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795610703321 996 $aCold latitudes$93734012 997 $aUNINA
